There is more documentation besides the README. For networking see

The default barebox boot target is to net boot. It'll try to get
a DHCP address and then load some predefined files over TFTP
(If it fails, it'll tell you which ones).

If that didn't work, you'll need to tell more about your setup?
What board are you using barebox on?

Part of the question reads like you are using it while Linux is
running (sandbox) and some other like you'd run it directly as
bootloader. Also what kind of errors do you get, can you copy them here?

Cheers,
Ahmad
